Host was great. House was beautiful. Couldn't have been better

DanielAugust 2016

We enjoyed our stay with Scott and Paula Their home is quiet and clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The coffee in the morning was very good.

JackOctober 2016

Great neighborhood, great home, and best of all, great hosts. Scheduling prevented me from meeting Paula, but Scott was like an old friend. I knew this was going to be a good time when I looked at their recommendations in the area. They were the same as I would have listed. The bed was comfy, Ginger was a good dog, and the coffee was hot. I was able to stay two more days than I had planned, and only a mile from my daughter and her family, thanks to Scott and Paula making their home available. This was my first Airbnb experience, and it certainly will not be my last!

KerryJune 2016

Fantastic folks! Paula is super talented and Scott has the best advise on where to eat! This was my first experience sharing a location, and it was fabulous. Will be back!

SusanJune 2016

Scott and Paula were very welcoming. Scott actually invited us to eat with them our first night since we got in late. The house is clean and very comfortable. They gave us our own key so that we could come and go as we pleased. Scott and Paula were also very helpful in advise for restaurants and places to go. My son and I have a great experience!

BillJuly 2016

I loved the space, it was so quiet and tranquil and very clean!

AshleeMay 2016

This was the BEST abb I have ever stayed at. The room was perfect, comfortable, and clean. Bathroom was fantastic as well. The hosts were helpful in giving us recommendations on where to eat, their home was locked and we were told the code, and the next next morning they had coffee made! I felt so safe and welcomed here. They also helped us figure out how to avoid the flooding on our way home!

My house is in old downtown Covington, near parks, the river, shopping and food (great food). We're right off Jahncke Avenue by St. Paul's School. I think everyone enjoys it here because of the incredible coziness, super soft bedding and serenity from all the trees. It's my bungalow in the middle of town..

I live with my roommate Jacob and we have a large extra bedroom in the front of the house with a bathroom across the hallway that he uses as well. The place is really cozy and set up well for AirBnb, you enter from the front into the living room with an open kitchen and your bedroom is off the hallway to the right. The bedroom is spacious, there's a little work area, 30" TV, big closet and queen sized bed.
My bedroom is off the kitchen in the back so you rarely see me, but really, we both work so much you probably won't see much of either of us. I'm a chef and so the fridge is always packed with goodies, and I'll make sure you have some good nibbles while you're there.
I have two dogs, Gouda and Stove, they are big ones but they are super cuddly and mostly stay in my back area or in the back yard.
Your bedroom is very private off the hallway in front with access to the bathroom directly across the hallway. You are welcome to cook in the kitchen and watch tv in the living room if you want, but you have your own tv in the bedroom too. The front porch has a comfy little table and chairs and in the rear there is a fire pit in the back yard.
Plenty of off street parking.
We both work everyday except Sunday but we are close by and are happy to help with anything you need. You can just text or call.

The neighborhood is sleepy little downtown Covington. Less than a mile away is the downtown historic district where there are tons of shops, food, bar and lots of other stuff to do. Grocery is a quick drive down Jahncke Avenue and the river is a short jaunt down to 3rd ave. There are some cool parks in the area and we have a bike or two if you need em.

Lindsay is a delightful host, warm and welcoming. The space is bright, airy, and comfortable, and the location is very convenient to old town Covington and its many charms. We had a great experience!

The Downtown Loft is located in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington next to restaurants and dining, nightlife, shopping, the Tammany Trace hiking and biking trail, and many family-friendly activities. You’ll love my over 100 year old home's custom renovated upstairs loft apartment. It is a luxurious retreat located across the street from the Bogue Falaya River hidden among the Spanish moss draped southern live oak trees.

The Downtown Loft Apartment embodies the essence of an open loft-style apartment with cathedral ceilings, wood floors, recessed lighting, half-walls, and a fireplace for those cold winter nights. The bathroom is constructed of slate floors and shower walls with custom antique cabinetry and the kitchen has more custom cabinetry, slate counter tops, and all stainless steel appliances. The unique entry hallway adds seating space and storage areas. All beds and daybed trundles have Tempur-Pedic foam mattress with mattress pads for the ultimate in restful sleep. Both the bedroom and living area have ceiling fans for added circulation and big bright windows that either slide open or hinge open. The Loft also has a full size washer and dryer with all your detergent, softener, and dryer sheet needs. Bathroom has towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner and all beds have linens and pillows. Kitchen has pots, pans, glassware, dinnerware, utensils, dishwasher detergent, gas stove, fridge with ice maker, trash bags, napkins, coffee pot with filters/coffee/sugar/creamer, and a "Louisiana Welcome Basket" of sorts with local snacks and drinks.
Guest parking is in the rear of the house near the Downtown Loft Apartment exterior staircase. The rear driveway is off of "Walker Alley" street which is a one way street that runs perpendicular to Florida Street (the street the house faces).
I will always be a quick text message, phone call, email or even knock on my door downstairs away. I live on the premises and can always help with any assistance needed.

The Downtown Loft Apartment is located in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington directly adjacent to the free Oxlot public parking which is great when you want to host parties in the Loft or are traveling with multiple vehicles and/or trailers. The rear driveway of the Loft will accommodate up to 4-5 vehicles of free off street parking, also.
The Downtown Loft Apartment is a short walk to any downtown Covington activity. You can leave your car parked at the Loft and walk to your favorite restaurant, bar, or boutique. One block South is the Bogue Falaya River to easily launch a kayak, one block North is the Tammany Trace Trail for hiking/biking, one block West is the Columbia Street Landing, and two blocks West is the Bogue Falaya Park and Playground for all your outdoor activities and we are surrounded 360 degrees by restaurants, bars, shopping, salons, and cafes.

Crystal did a great job in creating the cozy atmosphere and was very friendly in letting me call the loft my home. She had a lovely binder with calendar events in town and maps from her home to different restaurants which made it very helpful to see the proximity. I'm excited to book again at the downtown loft. She went above and beyond in accommodating Mojo (my dog) and I. There's nothing she didn't think of for us!

BanessaNovember 2016

Pictures of this place are great but the place is even better in person. Home was extremely clean, Crystal was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating with our late arrival. My only regret is that we arrived late and had to leave early so we didn't get to spend more time there. Overall I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay there!

CodyNovember 2016

Our stay at property was spot on! Crystal our host could not have been more accommodating. The Loft provided everything we needed: walking distance to local / favorite restaurants and amazingly decorated loft with everything addressed inside. We will most definitely be staying at Loft again soon! Top notch!

StevenNovember 2016

My experience was by far the BEST of the BEST stay with Airbnb at Crystal Loft in Covington,La Let me start off saying that Crystal really cares about making her guest happy she communicates and she genuinely wants her guest happy. THE LOFT WAS SO VERY CLEAN MODERN and SAFE. So please take my advice and book with Crystal at her Loft you will not be disappointed you will be very happy wheter if its an overnight or extended stay. Thank you Cyrstal for making my family and I feel welcome like family!

CodyNovember 2016

What an incredible experience! The place was absolutely fantastic, and Crystal made me feel very welcome. Anyone looking for a place in the Covington/north shore area, look no further.

BrettNovember 2016

What can I say, Crystal was an awesome host! Although our schedules did not allow much face to face contact, Crystal was always available when I tried to contact her. The Loft is just as nice and comfortable as it looks in the pictures, a full kitchen, two TV's and plenty of room for guests. The neighborhood is just as nice. A short walk to several restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, antique shops, and yes even a bar or two, no need to drink and drive. This is a great place to stay in Covington because of the proximity to everything. But with all the conveniences and comfort of the Loft, it is a great place to consider for visits to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. The price is very reasonable for what you are getting. Better than any hotel at the same price. Upon arrival after meeting Crystal I found complimentary water, beer, cokes, and potato chips, and even a couple of candy bars waiting for me. Also there was coffee, laundry soap, bath soap and just about everything you would need. If you were coming for a week stay all you need is clothes. Crystal is a very nice person, easy to talk to and willing to be a super host. I would definitely reccomend staying here. And if I ever go back to Covington, I will be staying here again!

NormanOctober 2016

Crystal had everything ready and so clean for our arrival. She even had coffee fixings, local beer, and print outs of area shopping and dining!

BrookeSeptember 2016

Stunning apartment Beautiful little town When you walk in the apartment everything looks and smells beautiful There were snacks,beers,coffee and in the evening a lovely deck with lights,sofas tv If you are looking for accommodation in this area this will be one more of the most lovely places you will ever stay

You can park in front of the house or use the parking lot across the street. If you need to you can park along the side of my trash cans on the side of the house.

Sally is wonderful, very welcoming, and made us feel right at home. We really enjoyed the energy of her place, room and beds were comfortable. Wished I could have stayed longer just to read some of her books sitting on the balcony with a cup of tea. Proximity of walking distance to downtown Covington is a plus. Staying here vs. a generic hotel was a treat.

LynneOctober 2014

Refreshing and peaceful. Calming. Antiquish and artsy. Full of character and soul.

AngelaAugust 2014

Sally was a great host. Very kind and gracious. The area was hit by historical flooding but she still went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. It ended up being a great stop in a great little town with a great host.

Delightful to hear Sally laugh even before I open the door :) Lovely comfy space. My fav home away from home.

AngelaNovember 2014

This was the second time I stayed at Sally's and for good reason; I knew I would get a relaxing night sleep in a truly hospitable home. I was in the area having to do training for work. Sally made it convenient for me to get in and out while I handled some strange hours. The best part of this recent stay was being able to unwind after a long day, then take my time waking with a cup of coffee in a room which fed good feelings. I would really like to find some time to be a guest when I have no schedule and can just take in the beauty of her house.

DanAugust 2014

Sally and her home are absolutely lovely, filled with love and southern charm. We felt very welcomed. Covington is wonderful- quaint and walkable. A great weekend destination in itself, but also an easy, pleasant drive to New Orleans. Highly recommended!

ElizabethMay 2014

Sally was the perfect host, Everything was perfect! A beautiful home and everything was within walking distance. We highly recommend you staying here.

ZacharySeptember 2016

Very nice place, lots of room. i would recommend this to anyone who needs to stay in the Covington area. Marion was very friendly and was responsive to all questions I had about the area. I addition the weather was absolutely fantastic!

MikeApril 2016

Marion was great at accommodating us with our late arrival. The townhouse was really spacious for the 5 of us. Thank you Marion we really enjoyed our time.

AnaMarch 2016

The home: perfect base for places of interest in both New Orleans and Covington. Very peaceful location and well appointed home. The hosts: insightful visitor suggestions and great ambassadors for Airbnb. Made us very welcome and kept discreet contact to check on our expeditions. Friends now.

RichardMay 2016

Our first Airbnb experience and it went great. Marion was a great host. The house is as described very spacious for the 5 of us. Great location everything we needed was close. Overall great experience.

MonicaJuly 2016

Marion made this the easiest experience ever. Her home was clean and well stocked, everything worked, she and her husband were friendly, helpful and easy to get in touch with and the place is centrally located so we were close to everything. I would definitely stay here again.

Our party of four stayed at Marion and Zach's townhouse for three nights while in Covington and New Orleans for a family reunion. Marion was a pleasure to communicate with and the experience -- including adding on to the reservation at the last minute -- could not have been gone smoother. After a long (10-hour) day of driving, it was a delight to enter the property. It was exactly as pictured: spacious, immaculate, well-appointed and comfortable. We felt right at home. Marion stopped by to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed and that we knew how to reach her if we had any issues. She could not have been more accommodating. The location was perfect, convenient to everything yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. "Lagniappe" is a Southern Louisiana expression that refers to "a little something extra." Coffee, tea, creamer and sugar were provided for our daily use along with a good supply of granola bars. And there were plenty of nice, cushy towels and wash cloths and other We really appreciated those extra touches.

Our Guest House sits behind our historic home in a lovely residential neighborhood. It is in walking distance to our histortic downtown with many galleries, shops, and restaurants. We are just 40 minutes from New Orleans over the the Causeway Bridge. Our Guest House is done with a New Orleans feel. There is a comfortable size living/kitchen/dining area, a nice sized bedroom and a spa inspired bathroom. 5% of your rental fee is donated to Habitat for Humanity.

The Guest House is well appointed with a comfortable living area including a kitchen which has granite counter tops and a dishwasher and everything you need to make a true Louisiana meal. We have strived to have special thoughtful touches, such as locally made soaps in the bathroom as well as little treats in the kitchen. The bed is reported as being very comfortable and the bathroom reflects a spa feel.
In addition to the Guest House you will have access to the patio between the Guest House and our home and the rest of the yard with the pergola and gardens. You also may use the room that is off the garage where our laundry is located.
We are available to you and we will interact with you as much or as little as you like.

Our neighborhood is filled with historic homes, many including ours, featured on the Holiday Home Tour last year. We are in easy walking distance of the historic downtown, there are frequently events such as wonderful free concerts at our trailhead or river landing. Our community is a pretty friendly place where folks will take the time to talk with you.
You can walk to many places in town and travel by car to other interesting places. We are just 40 minutes from New Orleans over the Causeway Bridge.

The guest house was awesome, it the best airbnb experience I ever had. Helen even made a quiche for us for breakfast. Aside from the quiche, she made cookie on on the side for midnight munchies. The bed is super comfy. 100% will book this place again if I go back to Covington. My group still talks about the house even after we left.

DickensJuly 2016

This was a wonderful place to stay during our time in Louisiana. The cleanliness was off the charts, the snacks were great, and the place was very cozy. We spent the weekend visiting New Orleans for Voodoo Experience but decided to stay in Covington. The location is spectacular. The hosts are even better. Don't hesitate on this! For the price and comfort it is a steal. Thank you again to these two for putting us up over the weekend and we won't forget it.

JustinNovember 2016

Helen and her husband are great hosts. They greeted us and brought us an excellent breakfast. They let all kind of attentions in the place for us to enjoy. The guest house has a lot of space and is super well maintained. It is located in a charming, private and quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay.

Amelie July 2016

Our stay with Helen and Cleo far exceeded our expectations. Not only was the cottage very well decorated and cozy but we were treated so nicely. Fresh baked cookies, fresh fruit after our bike ride and an exceptional quiche for breakfast. The attention to detail at this property makes all the difference in the world. Our family hopes to be back soon to visit and we would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for a beautiful weekend.

BrandyOctober 2016

We've stayed at many airbnb locations and have been happy with the majority. This was by far...the best. Exceeded every expectation. Convenient location near the library, excellent eating establishments, park...you name it. The cottage is lovely and the presentation was impeccable. The best part...our hosts. Genuinely lovely people. If you have the chance...enjoy the experience of this gem.

Enjoy private, gated, waterfront luxury at the foot of bustling Lee Lane. Relax by your private pool, take a stroll around the 12 lush riverfront acres, or explore downtown Covington just outside the gates of your private oasis. AVAILABLE FOR EVENTS

The Guest House includes 800 square feet of newly renovated luxury -- king bed, full bathroom with separate shower and jacuzzi bath, kitchenette, and spacious, poolside cabana.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire Guest House, cabana, and pool area, as well as all 12 acres of the gated, riverfront estate.

This place needs to be in a magazine - on the cover!! It is amazing. The place and the setting are equally unbelievable. If you are looking for a great retreat (or recovery) from New Orleans, this is the perfect spot and it comes with the perfect hosts. The Guest House: a huge bedroom with an incredibly comfortable bed (new with new linens and about six huge pillows). Refreshing crisp white decor with high end furniture (the owners are in the furniture business and it shows!). Large modern open bathroom with a shower and separate soaking tub that overlooks the grounds and river. Adjacent to the outdoor sitting area (I'll come back to that) is a small kitchen that the owners graciously and generously stocked with refreshments, beer, wine, mixed nuts and even a bottle of vodka (Southern hospitality?). Peets coffee was in order (and thoughtfully supplied) after a night with wine by the pool. Entire place was super clean. Very nice bathroom amenities - high end spa level. The Outdoor Space and Setting: Wow. The sitting area (loggia?) is so nice and relaxing. It overlooks the amazing pool, grounds and views of the original 125 year old home. Nice lighting and sound system (and steps from that fully stocked kitchen!). The grounds are incredibly private. You can't see another structure. The river is pretty cool as is the Spanish moss growing from some 100+ year old trees. The dock is a treat. Plenty of comfortable pool furniture (pix don't show the cushions) and plenty of sun! Grounds are meticulously cared for - beautiful. The Owners: This might be the best part of the experience. This is a father/son operation. I was in contact with both prior to arriving - they are extremely responsive and I've rented Sean's place in Nola and it was great. Check-in and out went without a flaw. They are very proud of the place, as they should be. However, they truly want their guests to feel at home and to enjoy it - and they went out of their way to make sure I did. I certainly did. Mr. Byran (Sean's dad) is a long term resident and knows Covington extremely well, and certainly knows the best restaurants. He was gracious to spend some time with me at a local great restaurant and it was very much appreciated. Covington may be a small town but Bryan showed me some great restaurants. Excellent food. THIS PLACE IS A GEM AND THE OWNERS ARE TRULY AWESOME AND SO VERY ACCOMMODATING. Very highly recommended.

KevinNovember 2015

Incredible estate in the center of Covington. The grounds are incredible and the property is amazing. The perfect place for our family to stay during our wedding. Felt like being right at home. The owners were amazing and incredible attentive. Great experience and hope to stay there again soon. This is the type of home we dream to have one day!!!

RobertOctober 2016

The experience was everything we could have I,gained and more. It was like having our own private, secluded piece of paradise. The host greeted us upon arrival and took us on a tour of the entire property. The grounds were immaculate. The home was exquisite, the linens were luxurious and we couldn't have asked for more. We will definately stay again.

PamJuly 2016

Bryan was a truly great host. The pictures and reviews don't do he and his property justice. My wife and I stayed here for a few days just to get out of New Orleans to relax. We left feeling refreshed and impressed.

SeanJune 2016

We originally booked Brian's Guest House as a pretty place for the Bridesmaids to get ready and photographed for our recent wedding. Brian was kind enough to let us know that it might not be sufficient for our purposes, and generously offered to let us also use his beautiful estate for our special day. Our photos have turned out incredibly beautiful and unique. It met every wish we could have possibly had - beautiful, spacious, and clean. Brian worked several days before our arrival to ensure a meticulously clean spot for photos and the girls to get ready. The host and the estate / guest house could not have been better. Thanks again Brian for your kindness and generosity.

ScottSeptember 2016

The Guest House at Charropin beach was amazing. It definitely lived up to my expectations. It is in the perfect location and was extremely comfortable. It gave my husband and I the rest and relaxation we needed. I highly recommend this wonderful guest house and hope to return soon. Sean thanks again for everything - you are awesome!!!

KierstinJuly 2016

Beautiful and serene grounds and property. My husband and I have never been so relaxed. Really enjoyed ourselves. The host was very respectful of our privacy and even left the fridge stocked with beverages and coffee. Definitely will go back.

DeannaJune 2016

Absolute perfection! Stunning property. Vikki and Brian are lovely, hospitable people possessing exquisite taste. They go out of their way to ensure a pleasant, relaxing experience for their guests! Highly recommend staying here. Location can't be beat... fabulous restaurants and beautiful shops are right outside the gate... or just languish in the pool! Can't wait to return!

1200 sq. ft. Cozy Cottage on private acreage, 6 minutes from downtown Covington. This is a stand-alone home with deck overlooking pond, screened porch and BBQ. Charming interior, lots of windows, and a comfortable interior might have you sleep late one day.

This is a home away from home, a quiet and peaceful jewel tucked away at the back of our 20 acres property, just off Highway 21. Entry for the property is about six miles from the charming and fun town of Covington. The cottage, as the photos show, is an old classic – but the interior with cathedral ceilings and modern kitchen and furnishing provides convenience without sacrificing charm. Just 50 minutes from New Orleans and the French Quarter should you tire of crickets and stars.
Entire home and pond
We will interact with guests as much they want or need, as our home is about 300 feet in front. The cottage is very private.

We are the cottage’s only visible neighbors. Abita Springs and Covington are each about 5 minutes’ drive; Mandeville on Lake Ponchatrain is 15 minutes away. All these towns offer great restaurants, shopping, parks, walking trails, music and fun concerts, markets and events almost every weekend. New Orleans is 50 minutes away, across the Causeway Bridge, and as you know offers everything.
You'll need a car

This was just an awesome experience. I can't say enough about the host & hostess. We welcomed like family and will definetly return. The quiet was loud. So if you enjoy your "quiet loud", this is the place to stay. The back patio for a cigar and sip of adult beverage was just so peaceful. The screen porch in the morning for coffee. The weather was also cooperative. This weekend was 10.5 on the richter (???) scale.....thanks Elaine & Wayne.

TimSeptember 2015

Elaine and Wayne were the perfect hosts. Upon my arrival, they gave me a warm welcome and tour of their adorable cottage. The homemade bread and jam and the honey from Wayne's bees, were a beautiful touch and made for a wonderful breakfast. The cottage was full of light, charming, and perfect for my stay. Even though the main house is close by, there is plenty of privacy. There is also a pond in the back, that the back deck overlooks. My favorite part of each day was having my breakfast in my pjs on the back deck and listening to the birds:-). I highly recommend this beautiful place. Many thanks to Elaine and Wayne for sharing it with others:-)!

JenniferMay 2016

Elaine has every single thing perfect upon your arrival. The cottage is both unique in its authenticity to the time period of construction, but all the amenities of the modern age. You get a claw foot tub and wifi:) It is just spectacular and I was so happy and honored to get to stay at this wonderful home!It is quiet and safe with the best host you will ever find. Highly recommended!!

KathySeptember 2016

Great couple. Glad to have met them. Place needs some work.

ShanaJune 2016

Elaine and Wayne make the beautiful oasis of the Pond View Cottage a magical experience. It really exceeds all expectations and their warmth and hospitality makes this a 5 star place to stay. My parents stayed for 3 nights and myself for one. We are incredibly appreciative for the generosity of the hosts and the very comfortable house. Elaine welcomes you with fresh homemade bread, honey and preserves and both helped my parents get acquainted with the local sites. Would love to return and highly recommend as a break from the intensity of New Orleans. Thanks again Wayne and Elaine from Joe, Hilda and Amelia

AmeliaJuly 2016

Elaine and her husband Wayne were super welcoming right from the start. They are such wonderful people and made our whole experience in Louisiana so much fun. The cottage is a perfect getaway from the everyday stress, cute and cozy. The listing is very accurate and is surprisingly close to Covington and everything you might need when you're there. We heard nothing but crickets and other animals during our stay, no cars or people at all, which is great after being in the city for too long. If we could give our experience at Elaine's six stars, we would. Definitely going back when we're in the area.

This was my second visit to Pond View Cottage, this time I was here for a very special occasion, my grandson's first birthday and christening, I was familiar with Pond View Cottage and was looking forward to returning, leaving Los Angeles behind. It was easy to do with the first view of the cottage and to be greeted by Elaine and her grandsons who were visiting, truly made it feel like my home away from home, enjoying Elaine's home made bread and strawberry preserve and before you indulge in the honey from Wayne's honey bees, take a whiff, from my jar I got the aroma of honeysuckle telling me what flowers the bees had chosen. This trip I was able to spend a little more time with my hosts Elaine & Wayne, sipping coffee, tasting Elaine's home made vanilla yogurt and a lengthy introduction from Wayne to what has become my new hobby, beekeeping. Please check out my previous review, it is all that and more. Now a few suggestions, I found that Pond View cottage, although being on the North Shore, is close enough to New Orleans I could still enjoy the great food, music ( 2 of my favorite things about New Orleans) and sights and return to the Cottage to recharge. Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, less than 25 miles from the cottage, is described as being formed in 1994. It is composed of 15,000 acres of pine flatwoods, oak rides and coastal marsh., if you like to kayak, bike, hike, bird watch and more, Boy Scout trail, we were able to get Siri(iPhone) to take us to the trail, has an incredible boardwalk that will take you on a hike through the swamps into open water covered with lotus. You will love your stay here, I did and I will be back again.

We very much enjoyed the cottage. Cute, spacious and very comfortable. Our hosts were wonderful - loved the special touches at check in. Homemade bread, preserves, fresh honey all in a cute bag with a personal note. Organic juice, butter, coffee and half and half made us feel right at home! Great girl's weekend to relax, catch up, shop and enjoy downtown Covington and the Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival. The cottage had everything we needed.

Quiet country home about an hour out of New Orleans. Covington is a cute little town with tasty food. Rachel made everything easy for us and we had a great time. Fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and 2 bathrooms. It was a great place to relax and hang out with the horses.

EdwardNovember 2016

very nice place to stay, on a beautiful plot of land as well.

GeoffreyOctober 2016

The best hostess ever!

Cynthia August 2016

Rachel's cottage was so cute and comfortable! We met her father and he let us into the house. Such a nice man! The description already said there was AC but we were still so relieved to feel the blast of cool air as soon as we walked in (you can turn it way down, if you want). The kitchen was stocked with everything from pots to utensils to cooking spices. Everything was clean and the beds were great. Their dog came to visit us a few times, which was always a treat - my cousins want a golden retriever now! At the end of our stay, I was actually sad to leave. Be aware that some cell phone providers will have a spotty signal. Tmobile has trouble, Verizon has pretty good reception.

MarynkaJune 2016

They welcomed us with enthusiasm and were always available giving us what we needed ,there is a washer and dryer great for when having to travel on!! The kitchen is well equipped with all neccessary things! The place is very peaceful and one sleeps soundly we had a wonderful time sorry it was just too short recommend it to anyone who wants a bit of peace and quiet and wishes to spend qulity time with family!!

Marie-AnnaNovember 2016

the property was very nice and inviting. love the fact that I could see horses in the morning while drinking my coffee. the donkey was funny as well! Rachel was very nice and available to answer my questions. property was very close to town.

HilaryNovember 2016

The cottage was a comfortable, peaceful, lovely place to stay. Rachel was easy to contact and made checking in simple, and the description of country but close to everything is spot on. It was a relief to retreat to frogs, crickets, stars, and animals after wedding busyness! It fit a lot of people very comfortably...feels 'bigger on the inside'. :)

AmyOctober 2016

This cabin was private and secluded but still convenient to food, shopping and attractions. Loved hanging out on the front porch.

50 minute drive to New Orleans. Mobile home in private, quiet area. Perfect for visiting family or a cheap alternative for NOLA visits. It certainly isn't the Ritz, but it is clean and affordable. No eye candy here. Safe, clean, roomy and affordable.

This is a mobile home. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms available for your use. I use one small bedroom for storage. It does not have high end finishes, and is nothing fancy. There are a few junk cars on the property.
But, I keep the interior and the outside use areas immaculate. I am a clean fanatic and I do all the cleaning myself.
There are window units for air and heat. Dishwasher, stove, fridge, kitchen table, fresh linens, washer and dryer, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, pots and pans, and toiletries. Also cable TV.
There is a queen bed in the master bedroom, a full and a twin in the 2nd bedroom. Also there is queen air mattress and pump in the master closet for use in the living room.
Small, locked bedroom is off limits.
Also other buildings and cars/boats on the property.
I will try to be there to meet you upon arrival. Other than that, it's all yours. Call me with any questions during your stay. If there is a need for me to come to the property, I will.

This is a quiet area on 2 acres. The home is tucked away on the back of the property and it is surrounded by woods on 3 sides.
There are cab companies and Uber in the area.

You’ll love my place because of the outdoors space and the quiet, peaceful neighborhood. The outdoor space is great for a variety of activities such as barbecuing, campfires, and crawfish boils. The house has boat access to a waterway that leads to the tchefuncte river, which is great for watersports. My place is good for couples and families (with kids).

Boat slip available with boat launch at property or down the street. great access to the tchefuncte river for fishing, skiing, and dining in madisonville. Ample deck space for relaxation and barbecuing.

Nick was very easy to work with and the house is in a quaint and very quiet are. The house was just as advertised, very clean and comfortable. Thank you!

I have 3.5 acres on the Bogue Fayala River in Covington, La. I have this lovely cottage surrounded by pines, magnolias and oaks. It is beautiful, peaceful and wonderful to unwind. My house is further up on the property. It is a 850 sq foot apartment over a garage overlooking the acreage. Deer are a common occurrence. It has had a updo recently with fresh paint, new floors and countertops, appliances and sinks. It has everything you could possibly need and did I tell you how beautiful it is?

The cottage has a great room with cathedral ceilings and windows all around. The view is amazing. The master bedroom is large with the queen bed and great mattress. Again the windows look out into the property from the second story. Large bathroom with plenty of storage and room. Absolutely beautiful setting on three acres. Enjoy all the seasons of the year with the many different types of trees. If your feeling good take a dip in the clear shallow Bogue Fayala and go for a swim. Tammany Trace is near by for biking. A perfect getaway.
The cottage has a washer dryer, equipped Kitchen and A Little porch to bird watch. Your job is toRELAX!
Downtown Covington is nearby with the Sat morn farmers market and cute cafe's. Almost like Magazine st in Nola.
You will have quite a few steps to go up to apartment. The house is raised.
I live on the property part time and am here at your disposal but I love my privacy too! I am readily available if the need arises.

I live in a part of Covington that begins to turn into country. Towering pines line the road and the lots turn private and secluded. The river winds through. Across the river is the the convent in which you hear them ringing the bells for prayer every morning. Yes, its a bit of paradise.
Covington is close to everything. The bike trace is less than a mile away. Old covington which is 5 minutes away reminds me of uptown Nola. Nice shops and eateries. You can also drive to the Gulf coast and Baton Rouge. The area is filled with trees wildlife and rivers. There is a organic store right up the street, with pizza and barbecue near by! Everything is convenient. There is a Wholefoods that just opened.
New Orleans is 45 minute drive away.
River is not in view of the cottage but a quick walk. And kinda a hassle to get into river. You should bring water shoes. Mosquito repellant for summer months.

Wonderful place. Great communication with Parris. Would love to stay there again when we're on the north shore.

ChrisJuly 2016

We had a great visit at Parris' home. We were looking to escape from New Orleans for the weekend and it was the perfect spot. Beautiful property, beautiful and comfortable clean home. It's located very close to Covington so we were able to easily spend time in town but also retreat back to the cottage surrounded by woods which feels like it's a million miles away. Parris made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

RachelJune 2014

Enjoyed a wonderful time at this quiet, secluded home with the board walk amongst the trees. Parris was very kind and accommodating and made certain we had every thing needed to enjoy our visit. Thanks so much for sharing your place!

My daughter is an artist and this is the room she grew up in; now it is a guest/playroom. Pillow top mattress! Adjoining bathroom only has a tub no shower.
Conveniently located in downtown Covington with the Tammany Trace just two blocks away.

The room is so comfortable and cheery but also soft and dreamy. Quite the retreat to get away and read or work on your computer.The backyard is bordered by the Bogue Falaya River and makes for a nice place to just sit and enjoy nature.
The room has a private bath but has only a tub no shower, in the hall next to the room. From the hall is access to the "public" area and the front door entrance. If you need access to the kitchen I will gladly accommodate you. However, within minutes you can walk to several coffee and tea shops as well as dozens of restaurants! You may enjoy the backyard by exiting the front door and walking down the drive, I have chairs and tables for you to sit and watch the river flow and listen to the birds. Very serene and peaceful.
I'm a private person but I do love to chat with my guest when the opportunity arises. I teach yoga and meditation classes and will be glad to schedule a private class for guest at a time convenient for them for them. My fee for a private class is $35, for semi private or group it is $20 per person.
This old house is one of great healing for those who are guest so please know that you will be coming to a beautiful sanctuary.

The neighborhood is amazing. Everything in walking distance. The English Tea House is across the street and as many as a dozen or more restaurants are all within a few blocks, including a grocery and bike rental. The Tammany Trace for biking and jogging is only two blocks away. New Orleans is only 45 min. drive. This is the most wonderful neighborhood! Oak lined with a Tea House across the street...antique shops...clothing and shoe stores, hair salons...restaurants just around the corner.
I will be glad to pick you up at the airport for a $50 fee. A cab is $95. Everything is so convenient around here you don't need a car and a bike rental is in walking distance if you want to explore by bike. There is a local taxi service but I also could help you out and if I am not available I have a friend who is very reasonably priced too. You can park in front of the house or use the parking lot across the street. If you need to you can park along the side of my trash cans on the side of the house.
Just a quick note about places to have a good cup of coffee and breakfast and more. Matina Bella has homemade biscuits! The Farmer’s Market on Columbia Street opens 8:30am-1:00pm on Saturdays, always local music and offers a variety of fresh and wholesome foods and coffee, $1.00 a cup, provided by Coffee Rani, which also offers a great breakfast and is on Lee Lane just two blocks away. At New Hampshire and Rutland is my favorite cafe, The Toad Hollow. The English Tea House across the street is a precious little dining experience for meals throughout the day. St. John’s coffee is where locals hang out most of the day and they serve a wonderful lunch.
We have New Orleans style food at the corner of Lee Lane and Rutland St. SalaThai, Yugins Sushi, and a tiny little place called Baba Ganoush. For wine and grocery items, Aquistapace is the best! All within walking distance.There are a wonderful variety of restaurants that have local musical talent during dinner dining such as Winos and Tacos. And for activity rent a bike from Brooks Bike rental and ride the St. Tammany Trace. Entrance two blocks away on Lee Lane.

Sally is a wonderful host and the location is great.

ChuckJuly 2014

Sally's warm greeting and simple tour made me feel right at home. The space was so lovely and inviting. Artsy, colorful, antiquey. Sally has a youthful heart and an old soul all in one. I'm coming back!

Decorated and fully furnished 1 bedroom condo. Sofa sleeper in Living room. Electric fireplace in living room. Balcony with gas grill. Pool and fitness center on premises. All utilities, Cable tv and Wi-Fi included. Close to shopping, dining.

This complex is close to major highways. Only 45 minutes from Metairie, La. and New Orleans, La. There is a full size sofa sleeper in the living room so up to 4 people can be accommodated. Makes it perfect for short stays to enjoy our festivals (there's always a festival in this area.)
Lots of cultural events happen in and around Covington, La.
Swimming pool and workout room are available on the premises.

There is 1 covered, assigned parking place for this unit.
The complex is close to Hwy 190, Interstate 12 and the Lake Pontchartrain Expressway, making it easy to get to New Orleans, Slidell, Metairie, Baton Rouge and other cities of interest.

Karen greeted us at her condo, showed us the layout and gave us a few needed instructions. She left us a bottle of wine with some cheese and crackers and even items for breakfast the next morning because we had arrived late! The condo was beautiful! We were there almost a month! It was truly our home away from home! Comfortable, very well stocked, close to all stores, supermarkets, restaurants and major highways! The condo development is well maintained, very quiet and there is a clubhouse, pool and gym! We could not have asked for better accommodations! We had our own parking spot under a carport, which is important in the hotter temps! We mostly took advantage of the immediate area, but New Orleans is only an hour away! I have no negatives about our stay and I hope when we return to visit our family that Karen's place will be available!
